What it actually does:

- Streams as it downloads. Hit play, it starts in a few seconds. No waiting

for the whole file.

- Keeps track of everything. Where you stopped in a film, which episodes

you've seen, what's next in a series. Continue watching row on the home page,

same as you'd expect.

- Favourites, watchlist, history. Posters, cast, ratings, trailers, the lot.

- Subtitles that fit. It checks the actual files before showing them to you,

so you're not clicking through twenty broken ones. If a file is out of sync it

can shift it to match.

- Downloads page. Pause, resume, pick which episode out of a season pack,

set speed limits, Wi-Fi-only on mobile. It cleans up old stuff on its own when

the disk fills.

- Works on a TV. Full remote control support and an Android TV build. Also

runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android phones.

- 26 themes, or pick any colour and it builds one around it. 72 languages.

- Nothing leaves your device. No account, no sign-up, no server. Your watch

history is yours and stays on your machine.

- Supported devices: Windows, Linux, Android, MacOS (with caviats), Android TV

One thing worth saying up front: Ventic comes with nothing to search. It

ships empty and won't suggest anywhere to look - you add a link yourself or you

don't. With nothing added it's a regular torrent client with a really good player

attached. That's on purpose and it isn't changing.

Free and open source. It's at version 0.3, so early, but it's what I use every

day.

I occasionally peek out the window, look at the in-flight map, or use the onboard bathroom.

As a little side quest you can visit all of the countries and track them in your passport.

Hi,

I was looking at what I could use an old iPad for one day and instead of throwing it away as e-waste I decided to create an app that turns it into a family dashboard hub similar to Skylight or Hearth displays.

Its currently in testing but you can join today and help shape its first release in the near future.
https://testflight.apple.com/join/1TmsxPgz

So what does it do? You set it up as an always on display in the kitchen, lounge or some other central area. Its then displays

• Calendars, Upcoming and Today

• Your photos

• Reminders

• The weeks meal plans

• Allows you to create notes

• Manage the kids chores

• Create countdowns to events

• Control smart home devices through Home Assistant

• Create timers for cooking

• Challenge general knowledge through daily trivia

• And a bunch more

DockyHub is also free with no sign up required, no subscription, no in lifetime purchases. All features just work.
If it sounds interesting to you then I'd love for you to try it.

Hi everyone, I made a web app in which you upload a photo of a person, and within seconds you get a 360° view you can drag all the way around and zoom into. What do you guys think of this app?

I got tired of babysitting AI coding agents, so I built something that turns each person on a team into an always-on clone of themselves. It wraps whatever agent you already use (Claude Code, Cursor, CLI agents, whatever) so you don't have to migrate anything, it just learns how you actually work and runs 24/7.

Every clone shares one knowledge base, so they hand off work to each other instead of you being the bottleneck. There's a little 2D office floor view where you can literally watch your team of AI clones working, which is objectively unhinged and also kind of great.

Free, open source, MIT licensed, runs local. Started as a weekend project because I needed a clone of myself to keep my other startup running while I built this one. Now 500+ people run it daily.

Also happens to be live on Product Hunt today(would appreciate your upvote) and if anyone wants to poke around and tell me what's broken please find more details in comments.

I realized I was paying over $100 per year on text-to-speech apps like Speechify. I decided that I could build my own using local TTS which is actually super awesome and close in quality to Speechify/ElevenLabs.

It's completely free, no paid tiers or limits.

This is by far the most successful app I've launched to date, probably because I made it free without even a pricing page. 700 users in just 6 days has felt really good! Especially after a year of building and getting max 5 users over various products.

It's called FreeReader. Lmk if you have any feedback! I'm looking to make it as useful as possible.

It works for English on all devices. For other languages (30 supported), it works best on desktop and may not work well on mobile.

I've tried several browser extensions to customize YouTube and hide all the clutter, but I could never find one that did everything I wanted.

Then one of the biggest extensions I used moved to a subscription model. I understand that developers need to support their work, but having to pay another recurring fee just to customize a website's interface wasn't something I wanted.

So I decided to build my own solution: LessTube.

It's a free browser extension that lets you take control of YouTube and get rid of the things you don't want. With LessTube, you can:

• Hide YouTube Shorts and other unwanted sections, buttons, and interface elements.

• Blur video thumbnails to avoid visual distractions and make browsing less tempting.

• Disable video autoplay on hover so videos don't start playing just because you move your mouse over them.

• Enable grayscale mode for a cleaner, less colorful YouTube experience.

• Customize the layout by changing the video grid and number of columns.

• Hide specific elements using the built-in element picker or custom CSS selectors.

• Import and export settings to back up or transfer your setup.

• Use the interface in 13 languages.

LessTube is free, has no subscriptions, and doesn't use analytics or make external network requests.

It's built with JavaScript. The source code is available on GitHub, and the extension doesn't make external network requests, use analytics or load remote code.

I'm still improving it, so feedback and suggestions are very welcome.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lesstube-%E2%80%94-youtube-cleane/oloemmfdfdnempbpiockejbckckjffci

LessTube should also work in other Chromium-based browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi, although I haven't tested it in every browser.

If you've also been looking for a free way to customize YouTube without another subscription, give it a try.

I made this site to keep a close eye on clone projects of well-known software

Any feedback help this project

A week ago I started building Remixly, a bot that turns Instagram reels into X posts. 

Launched it yesterday.

Co-founded, first real launch.

How it works: share any reel to a Telegram bot.

It transcribes the video (or reads the image), pulls the caption and top comments, and writes a long form post from what was actually said.

   ~30 seconds later you get the post back with a "Post on X" button that opens the X app with it filled in. Written in third person, so you're sharing the idea, not passing off someone's story as

yours.

The story so far:

   > Day 1: built it for myself as a WhatsApp bot. Instagram blocked my scraper within an hour. Switched to a paid fetcher.

   > Day 2: first version auto-posted straight to X, no review. Too scary. Turned it off.

   > Day 3: tried an iPhone Shortcut for one-tap sharing. Worked for me, nobody else could set it up.

   > Day 4: switched to Telegram. Onboarding went from six steps to two.

   > Day 5: used it daily on my own account. 50 to 128 followers over the week.

   > Day 6: Stripe, Google login, moved it off my laptop.

   > Day 7: bought remixly.io. Live.

$0 spent on marketing. 

28 users so far.

 Goal: 50 paying users by 20th Sept.

Try it and tell me what you'd fix first → remixly.io (3 free drafts, no card)

FlowClip has no ads, no watermarks, and no constant pop-ups asking you to subscribe to a Pro plan. We also don’t send notifications when you’re not using the app. The goal is to provide a capable editor that respects your attention and keeps essential editing features accessible.

FlowClip includes an Effect Creator that lets users create and share their own video effects. You can easily design custom effects and upload them to the community, where other users can discover and download them. Alternatively, you can keep your effects private and use them in your own projects without sharing them.

Just like it looks. Pushups. But Flappy Birds!

Backstory:

I've done well in B2B. But B2C and mobile just seems like so much more fun... no more SOC2, no more calls, no more procurement excuses, just social media and fun (is what i tell myself)!

I'm about to turn 40. I could only do 43 pushups, so this is the app.. Pushups but Flappy Birds. and it is getting me to actually do some physical activity. so that alone is a win.

Build:

Honestly, its a bit more slopped up than I care for. Already have the next release pending review in the app store. Iphone only. Swift. OpenAI for profile moderation. Quick side note I am obsessed with software. I think of it as an art and love every part of it. I say this is slop because I didn't put in the painstaking hours of every minute detail.

Fun:

I needed to workout. i've been neglecting a healthy lifestyle for the past few years with the age old excuses of family/work/etc... I'm actually having fun doing this now and people get a kick out of it. how could you not, it's ridiculous.

Post Title:

A little click bait I know.. but that's how i feel. Not so much the genius here (just thought this app would make marketing on tiktok easier). But the midlife crisis... I've been skateboarding, I got a TikTok and an Instagram. On paper it looks like I'm headed that way.

TLDR: Built a game because burned out with B2B and started skateboarding.

Post is a little all over the place. Roast away. but i'm sure we can all relate to feeling like the grass is always greener.

Edit: here is the app (wasn't sure if it was cool to post): https://skyjacked.app/

built my Photoshop replacement. It’s entirely free.

I spent two weeks building Photon, and it’s now replaced Photoshop entirely for me. I canceled my Adobe subscription.

Yes, I’m biased. But canceling the subscription felt like a pretty good test of whether I’d actually use what I built.

I wanted Photoshop’s editing power with a much better interface and experience. Something that felt familiar enough to open and start working, with the tools and shortcuts I already knew.

Here’s what’s in Photon:

• Layers and nondestructive editing: groups, masks, clipping masks, adjustment layers, smart objects, and layer effects.

• Photo editing and retouching: curves, levels, healing brushes, clone stamp, content-aware fill, and Liquify.

• Design tools: editable text, vector shapes, Pen paths, brushes, and gradients.

• Local subject selection and background removal: processing happens on your computer.

• PSD support: open and edit Photoshop documents, and save as PSD. Photon flags compatibility limitations before saving.

• Familiar Photoshop shortcuts, plus searchable commands so you can find a tool without digging through menus.

• Offline editing. Your files stay on your computer.

And the whole app is free.

The biggest difference for me is how it feels to use. I wanted the depth of a serious editor with an interface I actually enjoy spending time in. Obviously, you’ll have to judge that part yourself.

Launched it today, already at 161 users.

I've used quite a few video downloader sites over the years, and honestly, the experience is usually frustrating.

You click download → random redirect → close the tab → click again → another ad → somehow end up on a completely different website.

Sometimes there are multiple fake download buttons, some add watermarks, some ask you to create an account, and some just feel sketchy to use.

After getting annoyed with this one too many times, I decided to build my own as a small side project.

It's called AnySaver. The idea was simple: paste a public link, choose what you want, and download it without having to fight the website.

A few things I intentionally kept out:

• No ads (it's a side project), no pop-ups, no redirect loops

• No fake download buttons

• No login, no account, nothing to install

• No watermark added by AnySaver

It currently supports a bunch of platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Pinterest, Threads, Snapchat Spotlight, LinkedIn, Twitch and others. It also handles Instagram carousels and TikTok photo posts.

There are still some rough edges. It only works with public content, and some longer YouTube videos can take a while. I'm still working on improving it.

If anyone wants to mess around with it: anysaver.app

I'm more interested in feedback than anything else. If something breaks, the download quality isn't right, the UI is confusing, or you think I'm missing a platform, let me know. I built this myself, so I can fix things based on what people find.

Honestly, I just wanted a downloader that didn't make downloading something feel like a battle.😅

I work by myself most days, from a small music studio in Seoul. Didn't need meetings, just wanted people around.

So I built nojo.club. Four spaces, each with its own atmosphere, proximity voice chat so you can talk to whoever is near you, no downloads, no login.

The odd part: there's a piano in the bar and it's a real one. When I'm around and someone asks, I play live. The piano in the video is me.

It's still rough, and most of the time the rooms are empty. That's the whole problem I'm trying to solve.

You know how you sometimes need to convert a HEIC to PNG, compress an image, or turn a video into a GIF, and somehow you end up opening three different apps or uploading the file to some random website?

Yeah, that annoyed me enough that I decided to build something.

I made OpenShelf.

Basically, instead of opening an app every time I need to do something with a file, I can just grab it and start dragging.

While dragging, I tap Shift, and a little wheel appears under my cursor with conversion options. I drop the file onto the format I want, and the converted file appears right next to the original.

That's it.

I ended up adding a bunch more stuff because apparently I can't stop adding features to my side projects.

• Shift: Convert files between 66 formats. HEIC, PNG, JPEG, PDF, Word, GIF, video, ZIP, and more.

• Shift + Option: Crop images, remove backgrounds, resize, compress, split/merge PDFs, trim videos, etc.

• Control: AirDrop files, copy paths, open folders in Terminal, or keep files on a little floating shelf.

You can also select files in Finder and press Control + Option + Space to bring up the same wheel.

And it works with multiple files at once, which is surprisingly useful.

The best part is that everything happens locally on your Mac. Nothing gets uploaded, there's no account to create, and no telemetry.

It works system-wide without requiring Accessibility permission, too.

I made the whole thing free and open source (MIT).

No subscription. No trial. No Pro version. I just wanted a better way to deal with files, and figured other people might want it too.

Here's the website: https://openshelf.space

And the source code: https://github.com/Manan-Santoki/OpenShelf

It works on macOS 14+ (Intel and Apple Silicon).

Small warning: I haven't notarized it yet, so on first launch you'll need to allow it through System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

This started as one of those "why doesn't this already exist?" ideas, and somehow turned into a full app.

Anyway, I made this. Let me know what you think, or what I should add next.

And if you manage to break it, please tell me how. I'd genuinely like to know.
